It’s official: Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School!

[Western4Life]

What are you blabbing about? I said I was happy. I wanted her name on a shiny newly built school. Nothing wrong with that.

Update:

A Vaughan high school will be renamed Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School after months of controversy

York Region school board trustees have decided to rename the school after the late Somali-Canadian journalist.

AUN to Hodan and all others who died on that day, well deserved

It should have been named after the late singer Magool (AUN)

I heard she lived in Vaughan with her two sons... which now makes sense to me. I was wondering why there.

Since that school is being renamed, Vaughan itself has to be renamed.

Hodan Nalayeh, Ontario?



RIP

Nah. They’d call it the first Islamic city in Canada and a no go zone on Fox News. I’m worried the school will become a no go zone according to conservatives.

Is it going to be in Canada?

 

[Pioneer]

Well deserved. AUN to our Sister.

 

[Desert Flower]

Is it going to be in Canada?

Yes.

Seeing clips of Hodan is sometimes saddening but its great to hear they officially changed the name. It will serve as a testament to her legacy.
